I keep waking up in the middle of the night. Sometimes from the acid ravaging my esophagus from some annoying ailment, sometimes from the jet lag that sits heavy on my eyelids at two in the afternoon and pries them awake at four in the morning. I tell myself that first thing in the morning, I will finally compile all of the golden thoughts and sparkling experiences- and predictably, this will vanishes as soon as the sun’s morning rays streak through the window. But after fingers fluttering around my neck and keyboard and apartment for several days, it’s time to write of the past two weeks. My past two weeks in Australia. Our past two weeks in Australia.

Twenty six artists were asked to create a piece of artwork with a skateboard deck as the canvas embodying their childhoods. I was happy to visit the Teo + Namfah gallery on the exhibition’s opening night to view some whimsical and interesting pieces at Off The Wall. Thanks to curator, Nataly Lee, for heading up such a fantastic concept for artists in Cambodia. These are a few of my personal favorites.
